There were flowers in her hair, at her feet, in her grasp. She didn't even have to look at them, and they reached for her. His eyes lit as he watched, intrigued. He'd never seen anything like that before, the way they stretched to her, danced for her like sentient beings. The way they ripped from their homes to lay at her feet, caressed her mouth as she bent and breathed his name into their depths.
Minerva, she'd said. She raised her head to smile at him, a crown of roses twined over her hair. "Lovely to meet you. Would your father happen to be Kerberos?"
He grinned wide, another light brightening his gray eyes. Gray like Father's. "Yes! I'm his son," he confirmed proudly, thrilled that a stranger would know his father, and further enthused that the wonderful man could be found in his own young face. He wanted to be just like his dad. Father was incredible, after all. So beautiful, like him. He could never shine and shimmer as he did, but he'd be as close as he could get, otherwise. Dad had made him this wonderful necklace, so he was a little shiny like him.
"Where are you from?" he tried again, his curiosity piqued. She was so different from anything he'd ever seen before. What would bring such a creature to their island?
